@mxs-weixiong this seems not related to the inventory plugin

Failed to describe instances: An error occurred (AuthFailure) when calling the
DescribeInstances operation: AWS was not able to validate the provided access

could you please check your credentials? Validate that they have not expired or been revoked?
